Hands up if you love ice-cream?
My little man loves it, the challenge to find something he thinks is better than the real deal with none of the sugar, preservatives and other rubbish so it becomes a guilt free - even healthy treat. This is a total winner and so easy!
To make a speedy batch of Banana Ice-cream you'll need:
Frozen Banana
Yoghurt or milk
Optional Flavours: Cinnamon, vaniRead more...

I'm trying to break up with weetbix and find some healthier wholefood toddler breakfast ideas.... not all the time as they're a pretty handy go too when little Mr is screaming for food first thing in the morning. My little boy has just turned 2 and he eats like a machine, so I'm also on a mission to boost the protein and other nutritious goodies to fill his tummy.
This morning I tried a sweet Read more...

For many women, there is no greater blessing and miracle than becoming a mum. They say nothing in this life worth having comes without a great deal of effort. In some cases, the efforts you put are nothing compared to how much you get and that’s something every mum knows. But, when speaking about day-to-day activities of a new mum, the fact is -- things can get hard.

Planning meals is the bane of my existence. Honestly, I don't know where the day goes and before I know it I have a toddler that wants to be fed again.... I'll be real, I'm not great at it, but I am learning.
Now since I'm writing our meals down now, I thought I might as well share them here. I do not spend hours in the kitchen and if I can make another mums life a bit easier, then Yay! Go Read more...

Rainy Day, Partner home, Bellini (fake thermomix) prepped.... Game on!
We're two weeks into our 30 day challenge, the final day of Alexx Stuarts Real Food Rockstars Course is tomorrow and one of the things she suggests is to try and cook one new recipe a week. I'm not a nutritionist or even a massive foodie, so this is a big deal for me!
So yesterday, I made....
Sweetcorn Fritters

Transitioning to solid foods can be exciting, stressful, and a little bit messy!
Trying to determine what textures and tastes your child will like is a guessing game that can be conquered by no other method than good old trial and error!

Juice of 1 lemon - adjust depending how lemony you like it

Every time we go to a cafe my daughter always wants a slice of banana bread, warmed with butter. Even though I know most are made using refined ingredients and are rather unhealthy, they taste bananary, buttery and are super moist. I totally understand why she loves the taste.
So I have been experimenting for a long time to come up with the ultimate healthy banana bread recipe that had the same tRead more...

I'm on a mission to make better food choices for my little one and I'm going to use the blog as a place to store recipes and ideas on what we've made. So far some things have been a hit and others have hit the floor at a speed any elite athlete would be proud of! My new mum mission - to reduce the hidden nasties that are preservatives, hidden sugars, salts etc.
